My email is down, so I'll have you look at this instead.

Hello Private,

I am High General Cosmic, Commander of Training for the Stormtrooper Corps.

You will be contacted primarily through the ComNet Message Center - your official Vast Empire inbox if you will. Be sure to check this often for messages and updates from your superiors. The ComNet Message Center is located here (you must be logged in to the site): http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/ref/pmc/


------------------------------

To begin your training, I'd like you to come up with a Character Outline. This will be the initial phases of your character creation in the Vast Empire. The outline should include the following:



== Physical Appearance ==

Species:
Native Language:
Hair Color:
Eye Color:
Skin Color:
Height:
Weight:
Age:
Character's Full Name:
Physical Build:
Homeworld:


== Background History ==
(Give us some background history on your character: how he/she grew up, how life was, what his/her parents were like, etc.)


== Character's Personality ==
(Describe what your character's personality is like. Elaborate on his/her emotions and feelings in various situations, etc. Include your character's traits, skills, and flaws.)

------------------------------

What NOT to add to your biography
Exclude any reference of the Force/Jedi/Sith/Force-sensitive individuals.

The Vast Empire has a very "tight" time line; we try to stay as close to the movies as possible and avoid many references to the Expanded Universe concepts. In order to keep our time line as clean as possible, we do not allow members that are not in our Dark Jedi Order to write about any Force-related events/characters.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask.

------------------------------


You have been assigned to Hellgate squad in the Stormtrooper Corps Academy. Your Drill Instructor has already been informed of your arrival. To make your presence known, go to the Stormtrooper Corps Academy ComNet (forum board), and post a quick note on the Hellgate Squad topic to inform us of your arrival (Located here: http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/topic/9055/). Post your new Character Outline in the Hellgate Squad topic as well.


Here is a brief list of your superiors:

- Drill Instructor: Brigadier General Merrick
- Assistant Drill Instructor: Decembrist
- Assistant Drill Instructor: First Sergeant Aeos


Once again, welcome to the Corps, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
